Note: values are expressed in terms of number and percentage. Fisher’s exact test. A value < 0.05 is considered significant. ҂: (Babinski A, Kerenyi T, Torok O, Grazi V, Lapinski RH, Berkowitz RL. Perinatal outcome in grand and great grand multiparity: effect of parity on obstetric risk factors. Am J Obstet Gynecol 1999; 181(3):669–74).
